Further Minor Updates to the Liquidity Pool

Posted 7 months ago by LN+

On the heels of the recent LN+ pool updates, I just released some more improvements:

Enhanced Node Search and Filtering in the Liquidity Pool
Responding to feedback from node operators, we've introduced new search and filtering options in the Liquidity Pool. Now, you can easily filter nodes based on your intended channel size and the required connection type, whether it's Clearnet or Tor. Additionally, locating specific nodes has become more straightforward — simply search using their alias or pubkey.

Set Your Desired Channel Size
You can now specify your preferred minimum lightning channel size using the "Required Minimum Channel Size" field in your account settings. This determines the smallest channel size you're willing to accept on LN+. In the Liquidity Swaps section, only swaps exceeding your set minimum will be displayed. Meanwhile, in the Liquidity Pool section, other node operators can't propose offers that fall below this threshold. This limit is also prominently shown at the top of your node profile.

Timed Release of Locked Liquidity Credits
Liquidity Pool Offers, also known as Credit Transactions, have a set validity period. During this period, liquidity credits remain locked to prevent any double allocation of these credits. Moving forward, the transaction will automatically time out after 5 days during the approval process and 10 days during channel confirmation. This ensures that any locked liquidity credits are released. For your convenience, each transaction page now includes a timer, displaying the time remaining to move to the subsequent step.

Extended Node Highlighting to the Liquidity Pool
Previously, node highlighting was exclusive to the Node Explorer. We've expanded this feature to the Liquidity Pool. This means highlighted nodes are now prioritized and appear at the top in both sections.

Discover Nodes Randomly in the Pool
To enhance node discovery within the Liquidity Pool, we've introduced a section below the highlighted nodes. This section showcases nodes selected at random from the pool, ensuring every node gets an opportunity to be featured on the pool's front page.

Track Your Liquidity Credits in Real-time
Head over to the Stats page, where you can now monitor your available liquidity credits anytime.

Earn a Badge for Participating in the Liquidity Pool

Nodes that successfully complete a Liquidity Pool Credit Transaction are now rewarded with a special "Liquid" badge on their profile.

Website Enhancements for a Better User Experience
I've revamped the main navigation to ensure a seamless experience across various screen sizes. Additionally, I've optimized the page sizes for faster loading times. In this update, I've also prioritized enhancing site accessibility.
